The Harvard Museum of Natural History is home to some of the country’s oldest and most varied collections of taxidermied animals. Join the Museum staff for a gallery social and talk by author Melissa Milgrom, whose new book, Still Life (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) delves into the colorful world of eccentric naturalists and gifted museum artisans who create the illusion of life through taxidermy. Free for Museum members, $20 for non-members. Advance registration is required. RSVP to members@oeb.harvard.edu, or call 617-496-6972.
